Hi,
My final script looks like this:
on mouseUp tText, startPrior, endPrior
put empty into tText
put field "field1" into tText
put tText
put offset("Prior data", tText) into startPrior
put offset("Concludes prior.",tText) + 15 into endPrior
---MR changed NewData to ""
put ""
Hi All and Peter,
Thanks for your help. Yes, that is what I need.

put fld "performance" into tText
put offset("Prior data: ", tText) into startChar
put offset("Concludes prior.",tText) + 15 into endChar

My budding solution, but still needs a touch up on the first lines.
Can "replace" include a "return" so that the words to be replaced can be
sure to be on their own line?
on mouseUp
-- slug in a cr before "Prior data" to be sure content on that line is
not eliminated.
replace "Prior data:"
You could also just use offset and delete the characters between the two
offsets.

Hi John,
Thanks. Reading up now about the new to me function of LineOffset.
What I really want to do is NUKE the content from
Prior data: NUKE ALL THIS MIDDLE STUFF Might be 10-30 lines or so.
Concludes prior.
I think I may figure it out, given the pointer to LineOffset now.

Hi LC Folks,
Our "Attendance App" for kids at our summer camp needs some serious
performance help. The hit is huge when we keep data from various fields
about a camper in various .txt files.
I think I need triggers so updates and refreshing the data only occurs when
desired, not at OpenCard.
